Annually, the primary energy efficiency achieved by PLN IP is equivalent to IDR52.5b (US$3.36m).
PT PLN Indonesia Power (PLN IP) strives to continually enhance power generation to the next level by focusing on reducing production costs through various programmes internalised by field employees. This initiative places special emphasis on efficiency management in power plants, involving the implementation of governance that engages all relevant personnel and is evaluated in real-time using digital technology to ensure power plants always operate at their peak conditions.
Latest technology
At present, PLN IP is developing APM through the REOC (Reliability Efficiency Optimization Center) application platform and EAM through the Maximo application.The REOC is equipped with machine learning algorithms that process sensor data from power plant equipment, provide efficiency calculations, and offer recommendations to power plant operators. These recommendations are linked to the digital governance of operational and maintenance processes through the Maximo EAM application.
“This latest advanced technology provides predictive insights into power plant efficiency changes through sophisticated analytical dashboards in the APM REOC platform. Real-time evaluations of power plant efficiency and precise recommendations in response to operational parameter changes are now possible,” said Edwin Nugraha Putra, PLN IP’s CEO.
3 key areas
In response to the progress of the PLN IP project, the CEO revealed an outstanding achievement of meeting an 82% connectivity target.
Looking ahead, PLN IP has strategically aligned efforts in three key areas: People, Processes, and Technology.
“Collaboration with educational institutions and technology vendors emphasises PLN IP’s commitment to staying at the forefront of technological advancements,” said Edwin.
Through the integration of cutting-edge technology, a culture of collaboration, and strategic investments in workforce development, PLN IP is shaping the power generation landscape. “The goal is a future where quality electricity remains accessible to all, reflecting PLN IP’s sustainable contribution to the country’s energy landscape,” he said.
